Injury cases in Whitestone

Whitestone is defined by its bridge. The approaches to the Bronx–Whitestone Bridge and the Cross Island Parkway carry high-speed traffic along the neighbourhood's edges, while the interior is low-density residential — a combination that produces two very different kinds of case, serious highway collisions on one side and low-speed residential and pedestrian cases on the other. Francis Lewis Boulevard, 150th Street and 14th Avenue carry the local traffic.
  1. 01

    Because the bridge and the parkway are operated by public authorities, a case arising from the roadway itself rather than from another driver's conduct runs against a public entity, with notice requirements measured in days. A collision caused by another driver on the same road is an ordinary claim on the ordinary deadlines. Which one you have depends on what caused it, and that is worth establishing early.

  2. 02

    Most of the housing is one- and two-family, which under the § 7-210 exception puts many sidewalk defects back on the City.

    Queens cases are filed in Jamaica.

If there was more than 5 stars Seth Fields and his associates would get them all. Mr. FIelds went to trial with a jury in Suffolk Cty Riverhead Supreme Ct & won w/ a verdict in minutes for 100% Liability. The defense worked with Mr. FIelds in a settlement before the damages trial began. I would stop here searching any further & contact Seth Fields if you want a Smart, Attainable for your questions, concerns, Empathetic to your needs but a Bull Dog with your case, then you found your attorney.I can’t thank you enough for all your long hours, weekends, holidays that you put into 7 yrs of all my medical, motions, hearings & trial etc. WE WON! You did it and obtained a large settlement that I couldn’t be more happy after this long tough journey. I would refer everyone to you that has a case that needs fighting for. 🙏

The most amazing, professional and knowledgeable with great communicators with injury law, and I highly recommend that there is no reason for second and third opinions on procuring a law firm with their experience and know how. They are second to none. My time was precious, and they respected every minute of it. Thank you!

Ask us directly
My crash was on the bridge approach.
If another driver caused it, that is a claim against them. If the roadway, signage or barrier contributed, the operating authority may be a defendant, and those claims carry short notice deadlines — tell us the location precisely.
I fell on a sidewalk outside a private house.
Whether the homeowner or the City is responsible depends on how many families live in the building and whether the owner is one of them. That answer sets your deadline.
What happens at the first meeting?
We listen, tell you which deadlines apply to your situation, and explain what we would do first. There is no charge and no obligation.
